The majority of our antique furniture is from the Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911) or later. The furniture from this period often features intricate carvings and embellishments, creating sumptuous pieces that tell a story. With dramatic designs and unmatched craftsmanship, antique Qing Dynasty furniture can make a uniquely beautiful addition to the modern home. 

We do occasionally source late Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644) furniture, so keep an eye on our new arrivals if this is something you’re after. 

With furniture sourced from Shanxi, Jiangsu, Gansu, Hebei and Manchuria provinces, as well as Tibet, Mongolia and Qinghai, you’ll find a great regional variety, ensuring you can discover the precise look for your interiors. 

The best Chinese antique furniture is usually 'city furniture' which comes from Shanxi, Suzhou (Jiangsu), and Hebei (Beijing & Tianjin).

Traditional Chinese furniture is often made from a range of stunning woods; softwoods are usually northern elm (yumu 榆木 ), red elm / southern elm (jumu 榉木), camphor wood (changmu 樟木,) cypress wood (baimu 柏木), walnut wood (hetaomu 核桃木), locust wood (huaimu 槐木), paulownia wood (tongmu 桐木), pine wood (songmu 松木), catalpa wood (zimu 梓木), mulberry wood, poplar wood (yangmu 楊木) and more. Hardwoods in Chinese furniture are highly valued and were reserved for the homes of the wealthy. Hardwoods include various rosewoods; huali (花梨木), hongmu (花梨木), tieli mu (鐵力木). Other hardwoods are nanmu (楠木), oak (zuomu 柞木) . The most valuable hardwoods are huanghuali (a specific rosewood 黄花梨), zitan (紫檀) & chicken wing (jichimu 鸡翅木).

Chinese carpenters work each wood and sure each piece is embued with a unique personality while ensuring they remain highly functional, making them lovely centrepieces for contemporary spaces. 

We work hard to curate a diverse selection of antique furniture that includes only the best quality pieces. All of our Chinese furniture items have guaranteed authenticity and are genuine antiques (where dated).
